3 Check the Hardware Requirements The system must meet the following minimum hardware requirements: Requirement

Minimum Value

Physical memory (RAM)

512 MB (524288 KB)

Swap space

1 GB (1048576 KB) or twice the size of RAM On systems with 2 GB or more of RAM, the swap space can be between one and two times the size of RAM

Disk space in /tmp Disk space for software files

400 MB (409600 KB) 2.5 GB (2621440 KB) This value includes 1 GB (1048576 KB) of disk space required to install the Oracle Database 10g Products from the Companion CD (optional, but recommended).

Disk space for database files

1.2 GB (1258290 KB)

Oracle Database 9

To ensure that the system meets these requirements, follow these steps: 1.

To determine the physical RAM size, enter the following command: # grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo

If the size of the physical RAM installed in the system is less than 512 MB, you must install more memory before continuing. 2.

To determine the size of the configured swap space, enter the following command: # grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo

If necessary, see your operating system documentation for information about how to configure additional swap space. 3.

To determine the amount of free disk space available in the /tmp directory, enter the following command: # df -k /tmp

If there is less than 400 MB of disk space available in the /tmp directory, complete one of the following steps: ■

10

Delete unnecessary files from the /tmp directory to achieve the required disk space.

Oracle Database

■

■

4.

Set the TEMP and TMPDIR environment variables when setting the oracle user’s environment (described later). Extend the file system that contains the /tmp directory. If necessary, contact your system administrator for information about extending file systems.

To determine the amount of free disk space available on the system, enter the following command: # df -k

This command displays the disk space usage on all mounted file systems. To complete the installation, the system must satisfy either of the following conditions: ■

■

3.7 GB (3879731 KB) of free disk space is available on two file systems: one with at least 2.5 GB (2621440 KB) free for the Oracle software and another with at least 1.2 GB free for the preconfigured database 3.7 GB of free disk space is available for the Oracle software and database on a single file system

Oracle Database 11

Note: While installing the Oracle database on a disk drive separate from the software does provide a performance improvement, for best performance, the Oracle database files should be distributed across three or more disks. The Oracle Database Installation Guide for UNIX Systems describes this more complex and time-consuming type of installation. However, this type of installation is recommended only for experienced users.

4 Check the Software Requirements The system must meet the following minimum software requirements, depending on your Linux distribution and version.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES/AS 2.1 (x86) ■ ■

5 Create Required UNIX Groups and User The following local UNIX groups and user must exist on the system: ■

The oinstall group (the Oracle Inventory group)

■

The dba group (the OSDBA group)

■

The oracle user (the Oracle software owner)

The oinstall and dba groups and the oracle user may already exist on your system. To determine whether they exist already, and if necessary, to create them, follow these steps: 1.

To determine whether the oinstall and dba groups exist, enter the following commands: # grep oinstall /etc/group # grep dba /etc/group

If the output from these commands shows the specified group name, that group already exists. 2.

If necessary, enter the following commands to create the oinstall and dba groups: # /usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall # /usr/sbin/groupadd dba

Oracle Database 17

3.

To determine whether the oracle user exists and belongs to the correct groups, enter the following command: # id oracle

If the oracle user exists, this command displays information about the groups to which the user belongs. The output should be similar to the following, indicating that oinstall is the primary group and dba is a secondary group: uid=502(oracle) gid=502(oinstall) groups=502(oinstall),503(dba)

4.

If necessary, complete one of the following actions: ■

If the oracle user exists, but its primary group is not oinstall or it is not a member of the dba group, enter the following command: # /usr/sbin/usermod -g oinstall -G dba oracle

■

If the oracle user does not exist, enter the following command to create it: # /usr/sbin/useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle

18

Oracle Database

This command creates the oracle user and specifies:

5.

–

oinstall as the primary group

–

dba as the secondary group

Enter the following command to set the password of the oracle user: # passwd oracle

6 Create Required Directories Create directories with names similar to the following and specify the correct owner, group, and permissions for them: ■

/u01/app/oracle (the Oracle base directory)

■

/u02/oradata (an optional Oracle datafile directory)

The Oracle base directory must have 2.5 GB (2621440 KB) of free disk space, or 3.7 GB (3879731 KB) of free disk space if you choose not to create a separate Oracle datafile directory. The Oracle datafile directory must have 1.2 GB of free disk space.

Oracle Database 19

Note: If you do not want to create a separate Oracle datafile directory, you can install the datafiles in a subdirectory of the Oracle base directory (not recommended for production databases).

To determine where to create these directories, follow these steps: 1.

Enter the following command to display information about all mounted file systems: # df -k

This command displays information about all of the file systems mounted on the system, including: ■

■

■

20

The physical device name The total amount, used amount, and available amount of disk space, in kilobytes The mount point directory for that file system

Oracle Database

2.

From the display, identify either one or two file systems that meet the following requirements: ■

Two file systems: Identify one file system with 2.5 GB of free disk space, for the Oracle base directory, and another file system with 1.2 GB of free disk space for the Oracle datafile directory.

■

One file system: Identify one file system with 3.7 GB of free disk space, for both the Oracle base directory and the Oracle datafile directory.

3.

Note the name of the mount point directory for each file system that you identified. In the following examples, /u01 is the mount point directory used for the software and /u02 is the mount point directory used for the Oracle datafile directory. You must specify the appropriate mount point directories for the file systems on your system.

Oracle Database 21

To create the required directories and specify the correct owner, group, and permissions for them, follow these steps: Note: In the following procedure, replace /u01 and /u02 with the appropriate mount point directories that you identified in Step 3 previously.

1.

Enter the following command to create subdirectories in the mount point directory that you identified for the Oracle base directory: # mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle

2.

If you intend to use a second file system for the Oracle database files, create an oradata subdirectory in the mount point directory that you identified for the Oracle datafile directory (shown as /u02 in the examples): # mkdir /u02/oradata

3.

Change the owner and group of the directories that you created to the oracle user and the oinstall group: # chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle /u02/oradata

22

Oracle Database

4.

Change the permissions on the directories that you created to 775: # chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle /u02/oradata
